Response A new Indian Point Energy Center procedure is being developed to implement the preemption authority requirements in the NRC question.
This new procedure will be formally implemented when NRC approves that preemption authority.
Current requirements would cause IPEC to take some of the indicated actions prior to development of this procedure even though preemption has not been approved.}}
